Should I Buy Lollipop Chainsaw?

Depends on the sort of games you like. Basically, I'd sum this game up as Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but with zombies, much raunchier humor, and nonstop blatant fanservice.

It's a silly game in which you play a cheerleader who comes from a family of zombie slayers, and has to fight off an invasion that has taken over her high school. Oh, and the disembodied head of her boyfriend (who's still alive) is strapped to her hip...

The game has its tongue firmly in its cheek, with your character, Juliette, and others making groan-worthy jokes while cutting up zombies. A great deal of the humor is sexual as well, which is constantly emphasized by the fact Juliette spends the game in her skimpy cheerleader outfit. You can acquire other outfits as well...but they're just bikinis, or that skintight body suit with a neckline that plunges down to her belly button.

In fact, you can get an achievement for looking up her skirt (yes, there's a dedicated control for this!)

In terms of gameplay, things fall apart slightly. You have a couple of basic attacks, and you can buy additional moves and upgrades with money you get from killing zombies. Killing zombies with long combos yields more bonuses but honestly the combat system seems to discourage you from doing this since all it takes is a quick jab from an enemy to completely disrupt your combo. Even fully upgrade, I never felt that the combat progressed beyond button mashing. Even the combat system from Dynasty Warriors (king of the button mashers!) felt more precise than this.

The story mode has 2 endings, but fortunately you can replay any level you've already completed so you can go back to rescue any students or collectibles you missed, so you can get the Good ending.

There's also a score-attack mode, where you replay the levels, this time trying to rack up as many points as possible, so you can beat the target scores. I honestly didn't bother with this mode. By the time I got through story mode and its two endings I was pretty tired of the game. The jokes and quips grow old fast, and even watching Juliette bounce and jiggle (yes, really) as she gleefully decapitates yet another former classmate-turned-zombie got a bit boring.

If you like a good amount of humor and ridiculous amounts of fanservice with your zombie carnage, this is worth picking up in the bargain bin, or buying a used copy for cheap.

Yes, you should!
